High-Tech meets Hand-Works: 3D-Print with your bare hands!
Compound 9 is the new and exciting hand moldable, reusable carbon material for all makers, DIY enthusiasts, outdoor fanatics, prototypers, designers and otherwise creatives.
While this amazing material’s tensile strength competes with construction steel, at room temperature it transforms into a putty-like consistency at only 50°C and can be molded and knead into any shape using only your bare hands, common household items or professional tools alike.
Don’t need your model anymore, it didn’t come out as expected or got damaged? Just heat it up again with hot water, hot air or in your oven and start all over again to build your next great thing!
Compared to conventional thermoplastics, C9 excites with superior handling, reusability and result quality. C9 also is non-toxic.
We are now looking to enter new partnerships, use cases and markets beyond our current main use in prototyping and labs.
